Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into thin 2-inch strips
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, julienned
- 3 ounces Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
- 4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, paprika, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, marjoram, and basil.
- Place sliced beef in a large bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the beef and toss to coat evenly.
- Heat half of the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook, stirring frequently, until desired doneness is reached. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
- Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Sauté the sliced onion and green bell pepper until they are tender and caramelized.
- Preheat the oven broiler.
- Divide the cooked steak among the bottoms of the hoagie rolls.
- Top with caramelized onions and bell peppers.
- Place Swiss cheese slices on top of the vegetables and steak.
- Arrange the sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil until the cheese melts, about 1-2 minutes.
- Cover with the tops of the rolls, serve immediately, and enjoy.
Notes
- For extra tenderness, partially freeze the steak before slicing.
- To avoid soggy bread, lightly toast the hoagie rolls before assembling the sandwich.
- Provolone, American cheese, or Cheese Whiz are great alternatives to Swiss cheese.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven to maintain texture.
